Very happy with Reebok Club C. White Keds are timeless IMO. Veja is trendy, Sam Smiths are still in AFAIK. The “trendiest” sneakers right now seem to be clunky white dad sneakers and those are gross.

I don’t find my Chuck Taylors very comfy, so I stick with the classic Sam Smiths. I love them. You can get them all white if you don’t like the green detail.
I'm French, from Paris, and no, they're not, except on fashion-challenged people.

Nope. We don't all have to wear the same shoes.

I just got my first pair and am impressed with the quality and the comfort right out of the box.

These are pretty crunchy normcore, but the Birkenstock bend sneakers are awesome.

Adidas Stan Smiths (not Sam Smiths!) are always a classic. I also really like the Grand Court, with contrast stripes. It's just a really versatile shoe but it also has some personality.
Teens are still doing Nike AFO. This look is too young for me and I just don't like Nikes (don't find them comfortable, don't like the styling) but could work for the right person.
I am seeing more Golas on people these days, but rarely just in white. But they do come in white! They are a sleeker, more feminine sneaker than a lot of alternatives.
I am also seeing more Reebok Club Cs, it's a very classic look (think Princess Di in her bike shorts and sweatshirt with a pair of Reeboks). You can get them in a white white but they are more classic in an off white (also easier to care for -- so hard to keep white shoes truly white).
Agree Converse are always cool but also agree they aren't comfortable. Feel the same about Superga -- the sole is too heavy for the canvas upper, IMO. But they look cool.
If you like canvas and lightweight, check out Cariuma. Very popular summer shoe but I think it's more feminine and more comfy than Converse. but also more elevated than Keds.
There are so many sneaker options these days.
Thanks for the Cariuma tip. Those look perfect.

Just got new Veja Recife (the classic style with Velcro) and they are SO much more comfortable than my last pair. According to the salesperson at their boutique they changed the material of the tongue which used to be stiff and hard to break in. I just wore my new shoes all over Paris and they felt great. Saw many Parisians with Vejas as well as converse like pp said. Dd10 wore her platform converse but I agree they aren’t as comfortable. Dd13 wore Stans and Nike Blazers. Ds and dh wore Jordans and dh also got a pair of white Vejas but the Esplars.

In France, platform converse are the shoe right now.
I don’t find my Chuck Taylors very comfy, so I stick with the classic Sam Smiths. I love them. You can get them all white if you don’t like the green detail.
